Confirmation of Community Service
Confirmation forms verifying your community service are available upon request.
Please bring any school-specific forms to the event.
College Service Learning
Service learning combines community service with formal coursework in a way that both responds to community-identified needs and helps students meet academic, social, civic and moral learning goals. Service learning enables students to grow and learn through active participation in community service activities that are clearly connected to their academic program. Students working with San Diego Canyonlands provide support and volunteer hours towards restoration and campaign goals closely tied to their existing course curriculum and often keep journals or write reports of their volunteer work. Contact us for more information.
